Abstract

PURPOSE:To dispense with a power source for a driving motor and a clutch, by accumulating high pressure gas inside a cylinder in a tank during engine running, while rotating a vaned flywheel with the high pressure gas in the tank in time of engine starting, and starting the engine. CONSTITUTION:In time of engine running, high pressure gas inside a cylinder 22 is fed to pressure accumulating tank 21 via a check valve 30 and an interconnecting passage 41. And, in time of engine starting, after heating a heater 12, a compressed gas circuit opening or closing solenoid valve 32 is opened, making the high pressure gas inside the pressure accumulating tank 31 flow into a casing 34, and a vaned flywheel 33 is rotated whereby a crankshaft 26 is rotated. At this time, a three-way valve 36 is open to the atmosphere till it discharges air inside the casing 34, and interconnected to the side of a crankcase 35 after discharge is over. And, the high pressure gas that rotates the flywheel 33 is made to flow in the crankcase 35 through a return circuit 37.
